Two years after the search of Extreme expeditions, a team of CFZ (Center for fortean zoology) decided to return to explore the south Gobi, firmly decided to capture a worm to show its to science. They again trusted e-Mongol and his experience of conduit of expeditions, to guide them in the desolated zones where the animal was already seen. In order to multiply their chances of capture, they made distribute to the stockbreeders of these zones by e-Mongol before their arrival a leaflet promising reward against the capture of a dead or alive worm!

The expedition exited from the desert and came back safely in Ulaanbaatar the 26 th of may without having found the mythic beast. But the team has accumulated an important collection of similar reports from eyewitnesses that have increased their belief that it does exist a kind of worm-lizard or snake in the deep sands of south Gobi. |

Further information about expedition |
||
It
is described like a big worm of approximately 80 cm length living in
very remote sand areas of Gobi desert and leaving to the free air only
very seldom, in summer. He is considered as a "terrible" animal able to kill in an unexplained way
any man who touch it (poison, static electricity?)
The
first report on this animal came from the famous paleontologist Roy
Chapman Andrews which was asked to capture it by the Prime Minister of
Mongolia in 1922.
The
local belief of the existence of Alghoi Khorkhoi is very widespread and
could accredit the assumption that an unknown animal, worm or reptile
could still remain unknown by science from its great discretion and its
desertic and hostile unhabitat.
